Real experiences from those who call Villa Vie Odyssey their home.

Holly Hennessee

To be able to be at sea without the headache and expense of my own boat and have my precious Captain the Cruising Kitty with me is truly heaven on earth. Incidental is the fact that I am deposited in some magnificent place every few days.

I'm one of those who doesn't look at the itinerary. Everywhere we go is wonderful!

Panama, 18 residents took a tour of the indigenous tribe of Embera. After a 2 hour ride, we took a 30 minute motorized canoe ride to the village.

Welcomed by tribe and saw how lunch was cooked- fish and plantain served in leaves. Got to see town, school and then off to waterfall. Here is picture with the tribe.

The Odyssey is simply amazing. Incredibly warm, welcoming, and just a “classic beauty” that anyone would be honored to call their home. Tons of community spaces, comfortable furnishings, breathtaking full window views and open deck spaces throughout the ship.

Living on a cruise ship was a dream, travelling the world was a dream. Villa Vie Residences made this come true with the Odyssey.

We stayed for a week in December on their Try Before You Buy. It worked. We went back home and did more research and bought a Villa.

We're getting rid of everything and embarking next month in Colombia!

Up to 5 days At Each Port

Villa Vie Odyssey isn’t about rushing from port to port—it’s about truly experiencing each destination. With extended stays of up to five days, you’ll have the time to immerse yourself in the culture, cuisine, and landscapes of every stop along the way.

Longer stays mean deeper connections—with the places you visit, the people you meet, and the unforgettable experiences you create.

At the heart of every destination

Villa Vie Odyssey takes you beyond the typical cruise routes, reaching hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path destinations that larger ships simply can’t access. With a more intimate ship size, we can dock in smaller, less crowded ports, bringing you closer to authentic experiences.

This is a life redefined

Enjoy Extended Port Stays

A World Unbound

What if life wasn't confined to a single place? What if every day offered a new adventure, a new culture, a new perspective? We believe it's time to redefine what life can be.

Imagine a life unlike any other. Imagine waking up each morning to a new horizon, a new culture, a new adventure. Imagine a vibrant community where you're surrounded by friends, discovering the world together.
